Unable to install update on MacOS
|
Getting exactly the same issue.
Looking at it some more, it could be that they didn't sign the package correctly. I also see.. > The app has been modified, and its code does not match the original signed code. It also states that the file was downloaded on an unknown date. The log file in ~/Library/Caches/com.GGG.PathOfExile/ " Last edited by RaginBajin#5872 on Jun 13, 2025, 11:27:54 PM

So I was able to fix my installation by running the following commands.
sudo xattr -cr "/Users/<USERNAME>/Library/Application Support/Steam/steamapps/common/Path of Exile/PathOfExileClient.app" sudo codesign --force --deep --sign - "/Users/<USERNAME>/Library/Application Support/Steam/steamapps/common/Path of Exile/PathOfExileClient.app" If you are running a non-steam version, then your directory path will be different that what you are seeing there. What this does is remove Apple's gatekeeper security on the Path of Exile directory which is causing the program to fail. The second command is putting a self-signed certificate on it saying that you are ensuring that the file is what it is. It's up to you to decide how to proceed, but this is what the issue was. Note: You may need to run this again if you get the message that you need to update. Anytime the files change for a hotfix, etc till they fix this permanently, these commands will need to be run.

Welp that didn't do it..
That got me to keep getting the "There has been a patch that you need to update to. Please restart Path of Exile." and I haven't figured a way out of that one yet. |

On kegworks install on MacOS the log says the following. Any workaround:

" I got 3.26 to run on KegWorks on a Mac M4, running Sequoia 15.5. First PoE didn't start, same message as you. I had to update the engine and wrapper to the newest versions. Then PoE started but crashed with a black screen. I had to change renderer_type and device_type in the INI both to DirectX12 to properly run. Renderer was DirectX12, Device for some reason Vulkan. Only played 20mins yet, no idea how stable it is. But working fine as in 3.25 for me. |

NEW UPDATE:
This morning I downloaded the dmg again and reinstalled. [user]/Library/Application Support/Path of Exile/Path of Exile.app file was damaged, moved to trash. Went into same folder ([user]/Library/Application Support/Path of Exile/) and changed the file 'update.dat' to 'update.zip' Then double clicked that file, which will make a new Path of Exile.app file in the folder. Ran that, and it finally worked, was able to log in and get into standard league. Will try creating a character in the new league next but have at least gotten the game running again. " |

Same issue :(
Can't play new league |

I'm now able to run the game on my mac natively.
I combined a few of the other Mac threads that all seem to be related to the same issue. These are the steps I have taken and it seems to have gotten things to work. You are going to have to be comfortable with a bit of the command line to make it work. in ~/Library/Application Support/Path of Exile > cp update.dat update.zip > unzip update.zip > cp -R Path Of Exile.app "/Users/<USERNAME>/Library/Application Support/Steam/steamapps/common/Path of Exile" > sudo xattr -cr "/Users/<USERNAME>/Library/Application Support/Steam/steamapps/common/Path of Exile/PathOfExileClient.app" > sudo codesign --force --deep --sign - "/Users/<USERNAME>/Library/Application Support/Steam/steamapps/common/Path of Exile/PathOfExileClient.app" Now run the "/Users/<USERNAME>/Library/Application Support/Steam/steamapps/common/Path of Exile/Path of Exile.app/Contents/MacOS/Path\ of\ Exile" executable. Updating of the game should start to happen.. Once it is complete, you should be able to launch the game by pressing Launch. I can't seem to launch it from Steam, but it does work from the command line. It looks like the update installer that comes out to check versions, etc has some sort of bad metadata that is preventing Mac to run it successfully. That's why we had to change the guardian bit and resign the package. Once that was done, the update process and game seems to run as it should.

Yeah, finally I can play and surprisingly without crashing. Used the sudo xattr -cr method, and then extract the dat file to zip.
M2 Mac Studio here |

@AlreadyThere#4206 your solution worked:
" I am including some more details to help others: To update the wrapper you need to run Kegworks Winery, not the bottle that you have for PoE. Open Kegworks Winery and update the Wrapper Version to 3.1.7_2. After that I installed a new engine by pressing the plus symbol to download Engine version 23.7.1. After that you need to to go to User > Applications > Kegworks > PoE > Contents > Wineskin. Then click Advanced click the Tools tab click Update Wrapper and then Change Engine used to the new version. It is now working for me. Posting here with more details to increase visibility! |
